Searching for their fifth world title, Germany are going under the radar heading into this summer’s World Cup.
Are they dark horses? Quite possibly. But with Ecuador, Ivory Coast and Curacao standing in their way in the early stage of the tournament, confidence could be sky high if results go their way.
Die Mannschaft are clear sports betting favourites in their group, but their squad isn’t on the same level as Spain, England, or France.
What is the average salary for Germany players?
The average salary in Germany’s World Cup squad is approximately £80,000 per week. The vast majority of the squad are playing on Champions League teams, with 10 of the 26 playing for one of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, or Liverpool.
Deniz Undav at Stuttgart and Nadiem Amiri are likely to be two of the lower earners in the squad. Undav is on almost £100,000 per week at Stuttgart. Amiri is earning a shade under £50,000 per week.
Who are the top earning players for Germany?
Antonio Rüdiger is on around a quarter of a million pounds per week. Joshua Kimmich is reportedly on more than £300,000 per week and Manuel Neuer’s salary is believed to be even higher, approaching the £400,000 mark.
Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala, and Leroy Sané are also among Germany’s highest earners. Sané landed an enormous contract when he signed with Galatasaray, while Goretzka and Musiala are on big deals at Bayern.
How much does the Germany manager earn?
Julian Nagelsmann is on around £5 million per year as Germany manager. He’s one of the highest-paid national team coaches in the world behind Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti, and Mauricio Pochettino.
Nagelsmann took Germany to the last eight of the Euros two years ago and became the youngest ever coach at a European Championship.
